Listener Supported

Recorded in East Rutherford, N.J., Listener Supported marked the point in Dave Matthews' career when his live releases officially outnumbered his studio releases. DMB aficionados ascribe the fullness of the band's sound here to the addition of new keyboardist Butch Taylor, and extended takes on "Two Step" and "Jimi Thing" show that despite the fact that Matthews is playing music that has been previously released, he and his flawlessly able supporting cast are adept at reworking the material. The rare appearance of "#40" will appeal to the die-hards.
